Information
Å Sweater is a colourful sweater with bold contrasts and a modern look. The design works just as well for everyday wear as it does at the cabin, on a ski trip, or for après-ski.
Each Å Sweater is hand knitted to order using Du Store Alpakka STERK and DROPS Kid-Silk. The combination of alpaca, merino wool and mohair creates a soft, warm and durable garment designed to last for many years.
Many designs can be ordered in colours other than those shown in the shop. Please feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss customisation options or have questions about sizing and delivery times.
